DiMarco Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Ok I thought as Paul has been so kind to show a video of the beast with paint I thought to hell with it she has been soon with new paint. All the photos below are from the last post made up to last week enjoy everyone there has been a lot of progression in the last few weeks. Fresh paint job Now putting her back together What a maze of wires I wouldn't know were to start. Freshly repaired and sprayed grill and chrome strips sprayed orange don't like chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Today was one long day lol it was all about the interior today. So the carpet is now cut and made for the beast sound proofing in place wonder how much difference it will make lol. All the flocked panels are also in place so all she needs now is the seats and the belts then all done Decided to hide the bigger arches think it looks a lot better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiMarco Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) What a long weekend didn't get home from Chris's till 10 at night Saturday and Sunday. A huge amount has been done the interior is now complete seats and harnesses are bolted in. I have also put my CD in and yes I can still hear the music at high rev I tried it . The engine bay is complete now the coolant tank is finished along with the NOS system cables. Now the only parts that need doing are small jobs and one big one. The scoop attached to the bonnet and sprayed is the big job and the small ones are couple of chips, a bulb and sorting the indicator stalk.

DiMarco Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Look forward to seeing this come along to some of our meets or shows next year!! I really want to take it to a show this year but I don't think that will happen as I looks like when I finally have her completed after finishing off with chris it will need the exhaust and manifolds mate, mopping, graphics and the boot needs to be built which will get a company to probably do. once that is done she will have to go away in the garage as it will be icy and cold to drive her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiMarco Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 What a day and another pain in the ass lol. Some times old cars are such a pain in the ass as some of you know trying to fit an A series bonnet is a mission as I found out today the nose of the bonnet scratched the body not happy. But after a few hours it is sorted and the best you can get it and the locks are fitted along with the mirrors. As you can see with the below the car is finished finally I cant believe the day has come the only thing that need to be done is to put the washer hose through the bonnet, a rear tail light and the number plate light then she is MOT ready. So hopefully all goes well this week coming she will be ready to be on the road and this weekend come I will bring her home . It doesn't end there. When she is home the new exhaust will be put on, then the car will get a full mopping and polish, the wheels are going to be welded + polished and then I will get the graphics put on the car then fully complete. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
